knocking noise when pulling away

Yellow · 7th October 2016, 11:14

It appears that my car190 zt has developed a knocking noise when pulling away i get a little knock sound, can't feel it in the steering wheel but the sound appears to come from the drive shaft off side.
While driving at any speed alls fine just happens when you make the first move from a standing start and it's just a single knock.

the rear engine mount is fine just checkt it last month, but i can find the problen.

the car just drive 111300km

thx for youre advice

It could be the lower wishbone rear bush on the front suspension . They are known to present such a symptom if the rubber is breaking up .
The rubber on one of mine actually fell out and disappeared

With the car parked up and the handbrake on , can you roll either front wheel back and to a little ? This would indicate the wishbone bush .
